Re: Did you have surgery w/o doing chemo?
Just a short reply to send support your way. See my treatment below. Luckily everything my doctors plannned worked. Chemo first, not fun, but I would do it again. I was 58 at the time and was told that radiated skin did not reconstruct well. My life is good and I am happy with the choices I made. I wear bras with prosthesis and totally works for me. Luckily I have had no recurrence. My best to all.
